It makes no sense why we have military bases named after god forsaken traitors to this country.
If half the country rebels to do what they think is right for that country that doesn't make them traitors. No single group gets to decide what constitutes being a traitor. Was Edward Snowden a traitor because he blew the whistle on the intelligence community surveillance state? The intelligence community probably says yes, but your average American probably says no. Who gets to have the say on whether or not Snowden is a traitor?
The confederacy thought they were fighting FOR the country, not against it (and so did the Union). Yes, they were morally wrong in their stances (most notably slavery), but they weren't trying to destroy the country.
A traitor label is for someone trying to betray and destroy the country from which they reside.
To say a confederate soldier from Georgia was a "traitor" you'd be implying he was betraying Georgia and fighting against Georgia. Do you believe that's what he was doing?

And the American Patriots were fighting for the British Empire not against it too. They were just upset farmers that’s all.

Killing members of the U.S Armed Forces does.

False: the winning group gets to decide who’s a traitor.
Tigger being a confederate apologist tracks. Soft boy, loser.

I think the point he was trying to make is that when General Bragg was commanding troops, the flag for the opposition was the Stars and Stripes. When he ordered his men into combat, they were shooting and killing members of the United States Army. I know on this board somehow, there’s nothing wrong with that, but in the real world…
